Doctoral programmes

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) offers four doctoral programmes and encompasses six third-cycle subject areas.

KTH's general guidelines can be found on the page Links and resources . Programme-specific guidelines and information are available on the pages for each programme and subject area:

• Computer Science

• Electrical Engineering

• Information and Communication Technology

• Mediated Communication

Doctoral students are required to adhere to KTH's general guidelines for third-cycle studies, fulfill the criteria outlined in the general syllabi for their respective subject areas, and establish as well as follow up on their individual study plans (ISPs).

Expectation form

To get a good understanding of the mutual expectations between student and supervisor, concerning doctoral studies and supervision, the following form can be used as a starting point for the discussions. It is recommended to do this at an early stage, but also to revisit the document later as the studies progress. Please indicate in Section 6.1 in the ISP as a comment to the first progress meeting whether you have used the form for aligning expectations upon preparing the initial ISP.
